San Antonio Spurs Too Good For Dallas Mavericks – Photos From AT & T Stadium.

It was a fabulous night out to the AT & T Stadium here in San Antonio to watch the San Antonio Spurs tackle the Dallas Mavericks. However the Mavericks were no match for the Spurs and despite getting to within four points of the 2014 NBL champions the Spurs produced a comfortable 94 to 76 point victory.
